My Valentine Exchange Project..

Thought I would share a little goody sack I made using supplies from the Valentine Exchange Kits I showed yesterday. The little sack comes folded can easily be covered up with a cute crepe paper ruffle, a yo-yo and some baker's twine. Cute tag was punched from an EK Success Labels punch. Word *love* was stamped from 2010 Love Tags. Wanna make some yo-yo's? My mom has been having fun using these Yo-Yo Makers from Clover. I might have to get the butterfly one. Cute.

On the menu: We had this the other night. Very tasty. I added in some chopped dill pickles....had mustard with mine....the reds had ketchup. It was *definitely a keeper* they said.

Your valentine is so pretty - all frilly and girly without being over the top - it makes me feel good just looking at it. I also wanted to compliment you on your photo styling of your projects - they always look soooooo good. (ps thanks for the link for yo-yo forms)

I really like your valentine goody sack with the pretty yo-yo and tag. It's probably been 15 years since I made any yo-yo's, now I think I must try some again. Hope they are as pretty as your mom's! Thanks for all the great ideas.

This has nothing to do with the current post but I had to write and thank you so much for letting us know about Emma's Paperie. Have just recieved my first (and definately not last)order from this website. AMAZING!!!!! All individually wrapped and even a little piece of candy wrapped in one of the bows. You definately don't get service like that anymore. Thanks again!!!

I just got that yoyo maker last weekend at Hobby Lobby, I have made about a half dozen so far. I got all this crafty inspiration from your blog. Wonderful inspiration. I think I am going to use mine to resemble flowers on my cards. I need to think of spring, we are getting more snow here in my part of TN, I need to think Spring!
